I have been in engineering for 15+ years and now want move to product management. Which companies hire Engineering leader to product leader roles? Reason: AI is not Engineering problem 😀 TC:500K
None, the skill sets are completely different. Please try moving in your own company, MS can make you tech program manager first and then you can move to product.
Microsoft is ridiculous, all TPMs think they are product manager. These 2 have completely different RnR but engineering leaders are actually doing a lot of product vision and management and can be quite good for the product. I am not getting any opportunity within MS.
Try small startups that don’t know better or large companies with products in maintenance mode that don’t need innovation.
Please don’t. All the PM leader transitioned from eng leader directly are terrible
Terrible at vision or execution?
Interesting take: here I am thinking all the worst PM leaders are non technical who want impossible things, and I wish they had a background in engineering.
